DIY Plant Pocket Ideas

[Tula]

I'm looking to make something I can plant marginal plants in and secure to the side of my straight sided pond. I remember @sissy used to make something but can't find it or remember. Does anyone else have experience doing this? Thank you

I've also ordered some black pool noodles and will zip tie to pots, line with black landscaping fabric and secure to the side with fishing line.....think this might work well for planters. I'll try the plant pockets for some single arrangements of plants I want to put in the pond.
